Phillies secure bizarre walk-off win not seen in MLB for over 50 years

Phillies secure bizarre walk-off win not seen in MLB for over 50 years

Fox News6 days ago
The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Boston Red Sox in walk-off fashion, but in a bizarre way that hasn't happened since 1971.
With the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, Edmundo Sosa was trying to be the hero at the plate in Citizens Banks Park. However, when he attempted to swing at a Red Sox pitch outside the strike zone, he checked his bat just in time as to not cross the plate for a strike call.
As he was doing it, though, his bat made contact with Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez's glove – catcher's interference.
No, Sosa wasn't intending on swinging all the way through the pitch, but when the bat makes contact with the catcher's glove, it's an automatic interference call and a trip to first base. With the bases loaded and nowhere to put Sosa, Brandon Marsh waltzed home for the 3-2 victory.
While a celebration unfolded for the Phillies, the Red Sox couldn't believe that's the way they went out on the road Monday night.
This marked the second time ever a catcher's interference ended a baseball game in the divisional era, which began in 1969, per MLB.com. The last time it happened was 1971.
It was a huge win either way for Philadelphia, as they maintained their NL East lead by a half-game over the New York Mets, who came back to beat the Los Angeles Angels, 7-5, in their matchup on Monday.
The Phillies saw RBI singles from Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto in the fourth inning, but those were the only two runs they scored over the first nine innings.
Boston, which saw Jarren Duran belt a homer in the top of the first inning, finally got back on the scoreboard thanks to Trevor Story to tie the game.
However, after not being able to capture a run at the top of the 10th, it was a brutal way to go out in the end.

MLB trade deadline rumors: Latest news, updates from around baseball

Major League Baseball's 2025 trade deadline is just days away, set for 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31. A few deals have come together in the past week, notably Josh Naylor (Mariners) and Ryan McMahon (Yankees) finding new homes. Some of the other top players who have surfaced in trade rumors are Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez and Miami Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara. Suárez is in the midst of a spectacular season, on pace for 55 home runs and 133 RBIs, while former Cy Young winner Alcantara has struggled after missing all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery. Top contenders will be jockeying to add to their lineups, rotations and bullpens for the stretch run with the ultimate goal of playing deep into October. Follow along on Monday for the latest news and rumors: DIamondbacks trade rumors continue 'Do I think there's a chance we make more trades? Yes, I do,' Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen said. 'I think there's going to be enough interest that we probably will have to look at — think long and hard about what we're doing. I just don't know the extent to which that's going to happen and how many that's going to be.' He said interest in his veterans on expiring deals — namely right-handers Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen and third baseman Eugenio Suarez — has been strong, though he admitted his group has not yet focused its attention on those players. – Nick Piecoro, Arizona Republic Yankees add depth with Amed Rosario trade The New York Yankees acquired Amed Rosario in a trade with the Washington Nationals, providing depth as a player who has the versatility to play all around the infield. Rosario has started 20 games at third base and 13 games at second base for the Nationals this season. He's also proven to be trouble for left-handed pitchers. He's batting .299 with an .816 OPS against lefties in 2025. Rosario joined the Nationals this season after spending time with five other teams over the first eight seasons of his major league career. He signed a one-year deal worth $2 million during the offseason and will become a free agent after the season concludes. – James H. Williams Should Detroit Tigers trade Tarik Skubal this winter? Sandy Alcantara trade interest picking up? After tossing seven strong innings in his last start, Sandy Alcantara's name is back atop deadline wish lists, with USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale reporting that trade interest has soared. The 2022 NL Cy Young winner has struggled this season after missing all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery. When is MLB trade deadline 2025?

Find out when Notre Dame football will start its fall camp for the 2025 season

As we are heading towards the end of July, we know Notre Dame football is right around the corner when fall camps starts. Typically teams have about a month from when they report to begin really preparing for the season and when the opener is, which is exactly the case for the Irish. They'll start camp this coming Thursday, July 31st, with the first game being played against Miami on the road on Aug. 31st according to On3. There is plenty of hype surrounding the Notre Dame program at the moment, fresh off an impressive run to the College Football Playoff championship game, followed up by arguably the best recruiting class ever in the 2026 cycle. Head coach Marcus Freeman is also getting plenty of national attention, and big things are expected from this team once again as the season rapidly approaches. Notre Dame does have more than a few questions surrounding its team, but many of the other tops teams are also facing the same issue. The Irish should enjoy another successful regular season, one that propels them once against into the CFP.

Lorenzo Carter retires from NFL four months after signing with Tennessee Titans

After signing with the Tennessee Titans in March, defensive lineman Lorenzo Carter is retiring from the NFL. Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi made the announcement on July 22, one day after Carter informed the team of his decision and one day ahead of the opening of training camp. Carter, who was expected to play regularly after signing with Tennessee, now leaves a significant opening on the roster. Borgonzi said he was surprised by Carter's decision and will look to add defensive depth given Carter's departure. Carter, 29, played seven seasons in the NFL after being drafted by the New York Giants in 2018. In 96 games, he finished with 170 tackles, 21.5 sacks, and five forced fumbles. A four-year starter at Georgia, Carter was selected in the third round (No. 66 overall) by the Giants in 2018. After four seasons in New York (2018-21), he played three seasons for the Atlanta Falcons (2022-24) before signing with the Titans. This is the second straight year the Titans have had a recently signed player leave the team in training camp. Last summer, offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles left the team after signing with the Titans that spring.
